Customs on Arrival in Thailand
To
facilitate and expedite the clearance of passengers, the
International Airport Customs Offices all over the country provide
Customs inspectors to assist passengers at both the “Red and Green
Channels”.
Green
Channel: Inbound passengers with nothing to declare walk through the
“Nothing to Declare” exit; or
Red
Channel: Inbound passengers with something to declare e.g. dutiable
items, prohibited/restricted goods, etc. or you are unsure which
exit to use go to the "Goods to Declare" exit.
If you
need help clearing Customs, please do not hesitate to ask the
Customs inspectors for assistance.
Import Declarations
Before, or when,
passengers arrive in Thailand, will receive a “Passenger
Declaration Form (Form No. 211). You must complete the form and
submit it to Customs officials while walking through the Red/Green
Channels.
Passengers with nothing to declare (no dutiable items, no
prohibited/restricted goods) tick in the section “Nothing to
Declare” of the Form No.211 while those bringing in dutiable items,
prohibited/restricted goods or unsure which section to declare tick
in the section “Goods to Declare” of the Form No. 211.
